What vape juice should I use?
It's very important to ensure that you pair the right type of vape juice with a vape mod in order to maximise your experience and so that the mod is able to do what it is designed to do best. There is a very large scope in terms of vape mods and their power, but typically vape mods are designed to be more high-powered. Where pod kits are designed to produce less vapour, vape mods are designed to produce large clouds of vapour. Because of this, it is important to use high VG vape juices as the higher ratio of VG is what helps to create the large vapour clouds. Browse our shortfill selection to find an excellent high VG vape juice to enjoy with your vape mod.
